About windows is always too small

Post by Air Force One »

This is for sure just a small bug, but I put it here anyway.

If I call a Help->About menu, then the dialog window appears, which is way too small. But it could be resized.

Also, a picture and a logs for this.

A literally small issue :) After quite a bit of poking around our GUI devs figured out this is specific to Windows, and happens only with certain scaling factors (125% and 175% is affected, 150% apparently not). Should be fixed in the next BETA...

Thank you for your response and correction of the bug. You are right: my laptop runs with scaling factor of 125%. ;-)

BETA3 is out, and I can't reproduce it any more (observed it since BETA1 myself).
